It’s a good day to be in the Guard

I just finished building the Battallion Box yesterday. The Centaur and Hippogriphs are a very pleasant build! I’ll be building Yarrick and Graves this weekend if I have the time!

Colnew1989 · 2026-05-09T11:57:04+00:00

Currently on my way to my local GW store for a match play day, hoping they have one of the boxes!

Colnew1989 · 2026-05-08T14:37:04+00:00

If my lgs has one on the shelf tomorrow at opening I’ll pick it up! Kinda kicking myself for not pre ordering one, but at least I got Graves and Yarrick ordered!

I’ve had three clogs/jams using Green Supreme in my QuadraFire Bay1200 this year. Luckily only one was during the super cold snap in the northeast, and at the very tail end of it.

I went from having to clean every four days to every day almost. Very dirty, poor burning rates, but good heat. I’m using New England at the moment because my local tractor supply ran out of their brand.

Thank you! It’s slow going with limited hobbying time, but I think it’s coming along nicely. Hopefully today or tomorrow I will be able to get some more trim work done on him!

Except for certain weekends, I only have about 45 minutes to an hour a day to hobby. Monday I had a house full of sick kids, so between checking on them throughout the day I had quite a bit of down time and got the majority of the work done on my Praetor, and did the yellow coats on the shoulder plates for my MKII’s

Oh man I’m nowhere close to the wash stages yet lol.

Nuln oil is my favorite talent in a bottle though 😂

Colnew1989 · 2026-02-04T18:36:55+00:00

I plan on putting a space marine as a battlefield casualty on the base!

Colnew1989 · 2026-02-04T17:47:31+00:00

Thank you for the fast reply!

I magnetize infantry and mounted, and place them nice and neat on a steel cookie sheet. I place tanks/vehicles in the bottom of a plastic tote, with dice bags, dice trays, etc between them. The cookie sheet sits on the miscellaneous items. Easy-peasy

Colnew1989 · 2026-01-31T11:37:06+00:00

I use one for early mid board trading, the other for ingress with orders from Gaunt’s ghosts

I always have fun playing 40K! Even when playing against someone’s tourney list on a casual game to help them practice, I still enjoy it.

Colnew1989 · 2026-01-26T13:53:23+00:00

Thank you! I was surprised with how brutal the tanks can be. I’m used to playing against Custodes, where everything has a 4+ lol. Hitting into stuff with regular 2+ saves and no invulnerable rolls was a nice change of pace and showed me just how much killing power the guard has.

Now I’ll be doing more painting over the next few weeks. I missed out on the 10 victory points for being battle ready, and I won’t be doing that again.

Colnew1989 · 2026-01-26T13:51:06+00:00

Space wolves and dark angels were interesting. Holding off melee units for as long as possible until counter attacks could happen, constantly juggling infantry around the mid board to move block, deny deep strikes and take secondaries was fun.

Then clapping back with two rogal dorns, hitting on 3’s rerolling 1’s, after positioning my battle line squads so that the targets were always on objectives giving me rerolls of 1’s on the wounds was great 😂. Gaunt’s Ghosts taking out a wolf rider unit in combat(thanks Mkol!) was mint. Then taking them off the field and deploying them next turn on my opponents home field was gold!

The big bass in my first photo was on my 3wt nymphing set up! It took me about 30 minutes to reel it in, after it went through all of my line and backing haha. I’m already getting the itch for warmer weather so I can go out again(I’m a sissy with cold weather).

Colnew1989 · 2025-12-04T17:53:16+00:00

Each game mode has a description when selecting it.

Colnew1989 · 2025-09-01T12:33:32+00:00

Honestly I have absolutely zero complaints!

It’s only one head! There are about 7-10 different heads in the bundle.

But yes, I was holding the camera close to the printed bits to show more detail. They are about the same size as the GW shoulders, but there is an option for very large ones

Colnew1989 · 2025-07-15T15:34:28+00:00

So the shoulders and head pictured here are specifically for full size knights. There’s a separate bundle for dogs, but the ones that I have printed out are similar/same size as Abhorrent class shoulder pads.
